CompTIA PK0-005 Practice Test 3

Question 20

Developers need a short regular cadence for backlog planning and working increments. Which caution is MOST directly relevant to the project manager's decision?

Adding more simultaneous tasks does not necessarily improve throughput
A portfolio need not consist of technically related projects
A sprint is not a guarantee that every requested feature will be completed
Continuous recurring operations are not made projects merely by assigning a coordinator

Explanation

Correct Answer

A sprint is not a guarantee that every requested feature will be completed. The underlying reason is that scrum delivers in short cycles and adapts the product backlog based on feedback.

Incorrect Answers

This is a caution about kanban workflow, not the immediate risk in scrum iteration. Kanban emphasizes continuous flow, visible work and constrained work in progress.

This is a caution about portfolio prioritization, not the immediate risk in scrum iteration. A portfolio prioritizes projects and programs to meet organizational strategy.

This is a caution about unique deliverable, not the immediate risk in scrum iteration. A project is temporary and creates a unique product, service or result.

Question 21

A software team defers security checks until after the entire release candidate is built. Which project-management action BEST addresses this situation?

Evaluate investments as a portfolio aligned with enterprise strategy and risk
Include security practices and automated checks throughout DevOps delivery
Use Scrum events, roles and timeboxed sprints for iterative delivery
Visualize work and apply work-in-progress limits using Kanban principles

Explanation

Correct Answer

DevSecOps integrates security responsibilities into the ongoing delivery lifecycle. Here, a software team defers security checks until after the entire release candidate is built; the chosen action targets that failure. Verification: confirm security checks run in the pipeline and findings receive timely remediation.

Incorrect Answers

This response addresses portfolio prioritization, but the stated decision concerns devsecops integration. A portfolio prioritizes projects and programs to meet organizational strategy.

Question 22

The team follows this response: Include security practices and automated checks throughout DevOps delivery. Context: a software team defers security checks until after the entire release candidate is built. Which evidence BEST verifies the intended outcome?

Confirm security checks run in the pipeline and findings receive timely remediation
Verify resource allocation and priority decisions reflect strategic objectives
Review program benefit measures and cross-project dependencies together
Confirm charter names the new output, start, finish and acceptance conditions

Explanation

Correct Answer

Confirm security checks run in the pipeline and findings receive timely remediation. That evidence tests the response to a software team defers security checks until after the entire release candidate is built instead of an unrelated project condition.

Incorrect Answers

This check would validate portfolio prioritization, not the result required by the devsecops integration case. A portfolio prioritizes projects and programs to meet organizational strategy.

This check would validate program relationship, not the result required by the devsecops integration case. A program coordinates related projects to realize benefits unavailable through isolated management.

This check would validate unique deliverable, not the result required by the devsecops integration case. A project is temporary and creates a unique product, service or result.

Question 23

A release pipeline catches vulnerabilities too late because security experts are excluded. Which principle MOST directly explains how the project should be managed?

A program coordinates related projects to realize benefits unavailable through isolated management
A portfolio prioritizes projects and programs to meet organizational strategy
DevSecOps integrates security responsibilities into the ongoing delivery lifecycle
A project is temporary and creates a unique product, service or result

Explanation

Correct Answer

Question 24

A release pipeline catches vulnerabilities too late because security experts are excluded. Which caution is MOST directly relevant to the project manager's decision?

Security is not made effective by a single approval gate after deployment
A portfolio need not consist of technically related projects
Continuous recurring operations are not made projects merely by assigning a coordinator
A sprint is not a guarantee that every requested feature will be completed

Explanation

Correct Answer

Security is not made effective by a single approval gate after deployment. The underlying reason is that devSecOps integrates security responsibilities into the ongoing delivery lifecycle.

Incorrect Answers

Question 25

A compliance migration has legally fixed acceptance criteria and rigid sign-off gates. Which project-management action BEST addresses this situation?

Document fixed schedule dependencies and apply controlled change assessment
Clarify product ownership and empower the cross-functional delivery team
Select a predictive waterfall approach with planned phase reviews where requirements are stable
Use an adaptive approach with short increments and prioritized feedback

Explanation

Correct Answer

Predictive approaches suit stable requirements and regulated phase transitions. Here, a compliance migration has legally fixed acceptance criteria and rigid sign-off gates; the chosen action targets that failure. Verification: verify phase baselines and formal sign-offs satisfy the mandated sequence.

Incorrect Answers

This response addresses change cost constraint, but the stated decision concerns fixed versus evolving requirements. Method selection depends on flexibility, deadline constraints and cost of change.

This response addresses team empowerment, but the stated decision concerns fixed versus evolving requirements. Agile teams need clear product ownership and enough autonomy to adapt within goals.

This response addresses iterative feedback, but the stated decision concerns fixed versus evolving requirements. Adaptive delivery accommodates evolving requirements through frequent stakeholder feedback.

Question 26

The team follows this response: Select a predictive waterfall approach with planned phase reviews where requirements are stable. Context: a compliance migration has legally fixed acceptance criteria and rigid sign-off gates. Which evidence BEST verifies the intended outcome?

Verify phase baselines and formal sign-offs satisfy the mandated sequence
Compare proposed scope changes with deadline, resource and outage impacts
Check each increment against acceptance criteria and re-prioritize the backlog
Measure blocker age and whether cross-team actions close before subsequent iterations

Explanation

Correct Answer

Verify phase baselines and formal sign-offs satisfy the mandated sequence. That evidence tests the response to a compliance migration has legally fixed acceptance criteria and rigid sign-off gates instead of an unrelated project condition.
